I was on my way home from a show in detroit this past weekend and i was a stupid ***, i kinda just floored it without having a concern for the car because some ugly B in a dodge stratus gave me the finger for not letting her silly *** pass me on the interstate, so after she passed me i floored it, got it up to 120, still couldnt pass her, then finally after a few more seconds the needle was past 120 and i was way past her, just when i noticed smoke coming out the floor vents, so i slowed it down a lot only to then have the upper radiator hose split a line from one clamp to the other...i thought that was my only problem cause i had this happen once in my old car, so i just pulled over and got a ride to a auto part store from some nice guy and picked up the part and replaced it...i refilled it with gallon anti freeze and gallon water and started driving again...a few minutes on the road i was happy to see it running smooth until the temp gage was in the red and it started smokign again... so i pulled over and waited for AAA to tow my broken car to a garage nearby
Bottom line... they gave me an estimate of 1467.88 to replace the head gaskets...does this sound like a rip, or just right, shoul i get it towed back to NY to have it repaired by someone else? i figured that they might be overcharging cause they were the only garage nearby and i was kinda stuck with no other choices...
